Buffer tanks are frequently used in water treatment. It helps to reduce hydraulic (and therefore organic) loads, thus facilitating downstream treatment. To determine the volume of the buffer tank and the number of pumps to be installed, please fill in the sizing form opposite, so that we can provide you with a precise quotation and a 3D plan.

Use a buffer to smooth out flow and pollutant load:
- By reducing the peak flow, downstream equipment can be smaller.
- The overall size of the plant is therefore smaller
- The entire process consumes less energy over a longer period of time, generating electricity savings, for example, as night-time kWh is generally cheaper than daytime kWh.
Benefits of using a buffer tank
The buffer tank smoothes effluent flows and loads on the downstream water treatment process. Each basin is tailor-made to suit your needs, with the following advantages:
- CAPEX saving: Allows downstream processes to be designed on the basis of a smoothed flow rather than a peak flow.
- OPEX savings: with a smoothed flow rate, peak power consumption is lower, and biological treatments are more efficient.
Benefits specific to buffer basins 1h203
-
- Custom-built: All our buffer tanks are custom-built to meet your specific requirements.
- 2 installation methods: thanks to the thickness of the walls, the tanks can be installed completely/partially underground or simply on a slab.
- Solid structure: with its noble, resistant materials, the buffer tank is built to last.
- Wide range of capacities: depending on the buffer volume required, there’s always a unit to meet your needs.
- Easy to combine with other equipment: that’s the advantage of 1h2o3 products.
- Corrosion-resistant: the materials used in each buffer tank are corrosion-resistant, which significantly improves the life expectancy of the equipment.
- Safety overflow: to prevent overflow.
- Environmental solution: The materials selected for manufacture are 100% recyclable.
- Outdoor use: for outdoor installations (E), the tanks are fitted with a non-slip cover and stainless steel jacks.
- Easy maintenance: easy access and use, with drain and lift pumps.

Shipping
All over the world, 1h2o3 packages have dimensions compatible with transport in HC containers.
Delays
Once the order has been placed, the above-mentioned period runs (excluding weeks 31 to 34 and 51 to 52) from the date of receipt of payment and validation of the project plan (including all the options requested in the case of special requests). As soon as the equipment is ready, it will be shipped to you. A road transport requires approximately one week to set up, it can take up to 3 weeks for a container depending on the destination.
